Rewriting the rules of cybersecurity training
We are on a mission to reduce your human risk by putting Hoxhunt into the inboxes of employees worldwide.




our story
All great companies start with a great story
It all started in 2016 when university friends Mika and Pyry dreamt of a world where one puts humans first in cybersecurity. From a cellar in Espoo, Finland, they started the revolution.
On a car ride home, Mika gave Pyry a call and confirmed he was in, and then Hoxhunt was born.
As the journey would be long and full of dangers, they invited Karri and Pasi to join the fellowship and pressed on together!
To top it all, we’ve attracted some real cybersecurity legends on board to advise us.
We decided to create a better cybersecurity training for employees, one that is made with people in mind.
